Yes, to clear up all the confusion it IS my house. As I told platinum(Justin) I finally had some time and $$ to get my place done instead of doing everyone else's.
It was a lot of work, as I did it myself, the wife and kids just looked at me getting all sweaty.
In my 16 yrs of experience I had never done a circle patio and boy was it a lot of work. I must have touched each piece 4-5 times before it was in its place. Not exactly how you want to work...
Now it will probably be next spring before I get in the softscapes. Gotta be the showplace of the neighborhood you know.
Everything around here is of the original nature or mid to late 80's.
Again Thank You!
p.s. as for travel - get started and don't wait for me.......
